Poker Face’s Killer Twist Ending: Star Speaks Out!

by

Note: Here comes a discussion about some significant developments in the fourth episode of Poker Face season 2.

Gaby Hoffmann, who plays Fran LaMont on the show, has shed light on the shocking ending of episode 4 and the potential future for her character. In episode 4, we saw Fran LaMont, a police officer, become envious of another cop, Gator Joe (portrayed by Kumail Nanjiani), who consistently wins Cop of the Year at the FlopaCopa awards ceremony. In a twist of events, she unintentionally poisons him by adding reptile laxative to his energy drink, leading to his alligator, Daisy, eating him. Charlie (played by Natasha Lyonne) eventually uncovers the truth and Fran admits her crime, but surprisingly escapes punishment. Instead, she decides to leave the police force and take a job at a gator sanctuary.

In a chat with ScreenRant, Hoffmann shared that she’s unsure about her character’s future following the events of Poker Face season 2, episode 4. Yet, she speculates that Fran would find contentment in her new life. She also suggests that Fran might uncover more insights about herself and discover her role during this journey. Here’s a glimpse of Hoffmann’s thoughts on the episode finale: (This version aims to make the language more conversational and easier to read)

Wow, isn’t it fascinating to ponder whether some actors plan their character’s future actions after just five days in role? Frankly, I don’t think I’d be one of them. [Laughs] I wonder what my thoughts might be if I were in their shoes. Perhaps they would uncover a hidden aspect of themselves, and their life would expand in directions they never dreamed possible. In the end, they would likely appreciate having stepped down from the force. After all, the world is full of uncertainty, but it often bestows upon us surprises we never expected. I hope that Fran, like anyone else, would experience such unexpected blessings.

What Hoffmann’s Statement Means For Fran In Poker Face

She Managed To Get Away With Her Crime

Among the characters in the show “Poker Face“, Fran is the one who manages to escape punishment despite admitting to a crime. However, it’s important to note that her situation was unique; she unintentionally killed Gator Joe, intending merely to humiliate him instead. The events escalated due to her jealousy and the involvement of Daisy in concealing the crime. Nevertheless, Fran’s subsequent actions suggest a desire for redemption. This makes her job at the gator sanctuary a fitting outcome, offering her a chance to start anew and explore fresh opportunities.

From Hoffmann’s remarks, it appears that Fran may have an opportunity to start fresh in her job at the sanctuary, moving past what happened with Gator Joe. Although future episodes of Poker Face season 2 might not delve into what she ends up doing, the actor seems optimistic about her upcoming journey. The episode concluded with a comical twist, revealing that the gator sanctuary even hosts its own awards, but considering how wild FlopaCopa turned out to be, it’s doubtful the ex-cop will be involved.

Our Take On Poker Face Season 2, Episode 4’s Surprising Ending

Can Fran Keep Herself From Any More Awards Ceremonies?

Given that she chose to step down from her position as a police officer, it’s apparent that Fran is determined to alter the course of her life, aiming to prevent incidents like Gator Joe’s death from recurring. Although the series humorously hints at the possibility of a repetitive pattern, Fran’s feelings suggest a promising future for her that excludes award ceremonies. As Poker Face progresses, it might be that other suspects will experience diverse outcomes rather than just being arrested or meeting an untimely end.

New episodes of Poker Face arrive Thursdays on Peacock.
